McDermott has announced the successful decommissioning of the Campbell platform and associated offshore infrastructure at the Varanus Island hub in Western Australia.
Under a contract awarded to McDermott in January 2024 by Santos, McDermott says that it provided engineering, procurement, removal, and transportation of the platform topsides, substructure, and associated items to an onshore facility for dismantling and disposal.
McDermott says that central to the project’s success was the deployment of a custom-built lifting cradle. Designed and constructed at McDermott’s Batam fabrication yard, with engineering support from teams in Perth, Australia; Chennai, India; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the lifting cradle was specifically engineered to address the unique complexities of the platform’s upper substructure.
